The waitlist for public housing in New South Wales is prodigious - upwards of 10 years in some areas. But at Moree, in the state's far west, locals say a long-standing public housing neighbourhood, known as Birawee, is disappearing before their eyes, as vandals destroy properties. They say community morale is extremely low, and that public housing policy is to blame. The Department of Family and Community Services rejects that, and says life in the town will be improved by the privatisation of social housing.

Angela Lavoipierre-29.465 149.8399Is the Shenhua Watermark project still viable?http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2016/s4700543.htm
The Shenhua mine Watermark Coal project has been controversial from the beginning. Now, the NSW Government is clawing back half of an exploration licence sold to the Chinese miner, instead securing it for agricultural production. The Government says the previous Labor State Government should never have approved the licence in the first place, because the land in question is so important for farming and primary production. But the real question remains; is the mine still viable? Answering that could take some time.

There are some in the town worried its a sign of things to come, but the vast majority are sceptical that hot summers are anything other than a high point in natural weather cycles.
